See: https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port

Latest patch: https://codeberg.org/vimuser/librewolf-openbsd-port/commit/b66909dff671dfae9350b3db84c60b0a32cff9e9

I compiled the master branch on OpenBSD -current (7.9 snapshot).

I rewrote the port again, this time making only the most surgical changes relative to www/mozilla-firefox.

LibreWolf uses mozconfig, so OpenBSD CONFIGURE_ARGS has no effect; I provide a patched mozconfig at build time.

*Everything works*. I rocked out to some tunes, and read some news.

This branch shows what I will send:

Cookie monster!

favicon

(codeberg.org)

Branch name labelled submit1, because I anticipate that they may ask for a few changes. So the expected 2nd draft would be sent to submit2, and then submit3, and so on.

Yes. With any luck, they *might* merge my patch for 7.9 - my changes, relative to www/mozilla-firefox, are quite conservative and done in the most surgical way possible.

They're already in release mode, so who knows if this will land before OpenBSD 7.9. I hope I can get it in the release.

LibreWolf is similar enough to FireFox, and my port is conservatively-enough engineered relative to www/mozilla-firefox that it fits well into their infrastructure, with little friction. For all intents and purposes, it is essentially the same browser as FireFox, just without the enshittification.
